NYC Budd 67
Title:  NYC Budd 67
Description:  NYC Budd 67 on the rear of CB&Q Train #22, the Morning Twin Cities Zephyr, at Aurora, Illinois on July 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I have very limited information about this car and the reason it's on the Zephyr. This car was built as NYC Number 67 as a Parlor-Observation between April-June 1948 by Budd and appeared for about a month or so during the summer of 1965 in this position. It appears that the NYC trains the Twilight Limited (#'s 30-31), the Chicago Mercury (#'s 375-376), and the Cleveland Mercury (#'s 75-76) were assigned Budd Parlor-Observation cars in the 58-70 number range in the 1950's. One record show this car was retired by the NYC in October 1965 and sold to Ringling Brothers Circus.
